Ubisoft has announced the PC specs you need to meet in order to play the online shooter The Division 2. The system requirements and prerequisites are somewhat more lenient than those for Anthem, which is released around the same time.

Specs Comparison with Anthem
How do the system requirements compare with Anthem? If you don’t want to play at resolutions higher than Full HD, the PC system requirements for The Division 2 are even somewhat more lenient than the specs for Anthem.
Bioware’s online shooter requires, for example, 16 GB of RAM and a Nvidia GTX 1060 or RTX 2060 for the recommended system requirements. Additionally, Anthem requires Windows 10, while you can play The Division 2 on Windows 7 and 8.
Only if you want to play The Division 2 at resolutions beyond Full HD at 60 fps, you should own a very powerful PC.
It is also interesting that The Division 2 can still be launched on Windows 7. Anthem already requires Windows 10.

What are the advantages of playing on PC? Those who play The Division 2 on PC will see several graphical features that the versions on PS4 and Xbox One do not offer. These include:
- Native 4K support with HDR
- Support for ultra-wide monitors
- Multi-monitor PC setups are supported
- The frame rate is not capped
